Inhaltsangabe

Since the Holocaust, traces of memory are virtually all that remain in Poland today of more than eight hundred years of Jewish life there. This remarkable album, published on behalf of the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków, offers a sensitive way of looking at that past. Based entirely on arresting, present-day colour photographs of Polish Galicia, it shows how much can still be seen today of that past if one knows how to look and how to interpret what one sees.
